Custom Fleece Sweatsuit Manufacturer

Fleece is the fabric most brands think they know and the one with the most variables: brushed depth, yarn count, cotton ratio, three-end versus two-end knit. Two 350 GSM fleeces can feel completely different.

Mike Apparel manufactures fleece sweatsuits in brushed cotton or cotton-poly fleece from 320 to 500 GSM, with the brushing depth, yarn and blend chosen to your target hand feel. Sets are cut and dyed together and finished with matching rib. For brands searching for a custom fleece sweatsuit manufacturer that treats a 50-piece order like a real order, Mike Apparel samples first, produces in 2–3 weeks and delivers duties-paid.

Choosing the cloth for a custom sweatsuit

Every sweatsuit programme starts with a swatch card. These are the constructions we recommend for sweatsuits; any of them can be dyed to Pantone and most can be washed or garment-dyed after sewing. If you are unsure, sample the fleece sweatsuit in 320 GSM 3-end fleece first; it is the construction we recommend for soft, light fleece set.

Fleece Sweatsuit fits we build

We build the pattern on one of the blocks below or from your own measurements, grade it across XS to 3XL for the US market, and confirm every size on the sample before cutting bulk. The most requested fleece sweatsuit block is the regular hoodie + tapered jogger.

• Regular hoodie + tapered jogger
• Oversized hoodie + straight pant
• Crewneck + jogger
• Zip hoodie + jogger

Fleece Sweatsuit construction

Our default build for sweatsuits. Change any line in the tech pack; the sample confirms it. On a fleece sweatsuit the detail buyers notice first is the fleece brushed to spec: light peach, medium nap or deep brushed.

• Fleece brushed to spec: light peach, medium nap or deep brushed
• Anti-pill finish on cotton-poly fleece
• Matching rib with spandex for recovery
• Joggers with elastic + drawcord waist and side pockets
• Set cut from one dye lot

Printing, embroidery and finishing

Print, embroidery and wash are done in-house, so the sweatsuit and its decoration ship as one finished product with one point of responsibility. On a fleece sweatsuit the most common request is embroidery on chest and thigh.

• Embroidery on chest and thigh
• Screen prints
• Garment dye
• Enzyme wash for extra softness
• Contrast rib

Your label on every sweatsuit

Every sweatsuit leaves the factory fully branded as your product: woven main label, woven or printed size and care labels, hem tags or hood labels, hang tags with your artwork, and packaging from plain poly bags to printed mailer boxes. Labels are produced in-house from your files. Details on our private label clothing page. For fleece sweatsuit orders we recommend a woven neck label plus a printed care label as the minimum; hang tags and fleece hoodie and pants packaging are added at your choice.

Minimum order and quantities for a custom sweatsuit

Every custom sweatsuit run starts at 50 pieces per design and colourway, sizes mixed however you like. Order more and the per-set cost comes down, because cutting, sampling and setup are spread over a bigger run — that’s true whether you’re ordering sweatsuits on their own or alongside other products. A simpler fleece sweatsuit in 320 GSM 3-end fleece with one placement costs less than the same style in 350 GSM 3-end fleece with multiple placements and full packaging.

What drives the final number is fabric weight, how much decoration is on the piece, and how many you order — we’ll walk you through all of it in your quote. Read how much does a custom sweatsuit cost to produce? if you want the detail on cost drivers before you ask. A fleece sweatsuit sample is billed separately from the bulk order and refunded against it once you approve and place the run.

Air freight lands in Las Vegas or Atlanta in four to seven days after the run ships; sea freight takes four to five weeks and costs less for larger orders. We also ship to the UK, Canada, Australia, the EU and the UAE. See streetwear manufacturing for USA brands and our DDP shipping page. A 50-piece fleece sweatsuit order fits in a few cartons and clears US customs as one DDP consignment with a single commercial invoice.
